1 Corinthians 4:6b-15

1. 6

   But these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollo, for your sakes; that in us you may learn, that one be not puffed up against the other for another, above that which is written.

2. 7

   For who distinguisheth thee? Or what hast thou that thou hast not received? And if thou hast received, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

3. 8

   You are now full; you are now become rich; you reign without us; and I would to God you did reign, that we also might reign with you.

4. 9

   For I think that God hath set forth us apostles, the last, as it were men appointed to death: we are made a spectacle to the world, and to angels, and to men.

5. 10

   We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ; we are weak, but you are strong; you are honourable, but we without honour.

6. 11

   Even unto this hour we both hunger and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no fixed abode;

7. 12

   And we labour, working with our own hands: we are reviled, and we bless; we are persecuted, and we suffer it.

8. 13

   We are blasphemed, and we entreat; we are made as the refuse of this world, the offscouring of all even until now.

9. 14

   I write not these things to confound you; but I admonish you as my dearest children.

10. 15

    For if you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet not many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, by the gospel, I have begotten you.
